Red Dead Redemption 2 V2 The Western Boogaloo - Games

Ooh I thought that all that dosh came from the ranch for some reason.

To be honest, it kind of killed my hype for other games similar to this one, like I know Fallout 76 or Death Stranding wont put this much effort in physics, animations and ragdolls, which are the things i most adore in a good game. You could call me a Rockstar fanboy since i only bought a ps3 to play Red Dead Redemption and GTA V and now i bought a ps4 just to play Red Dead Redemption 2, but honestly who else in the market puts this much detail in those aspects in an open world game? I have yet to see that from another developer, and im been looking for that since the first time i got GTA IV to work on my pc.

He's joking. You lose honor if you fish with dynamite. However, you do get a lot of easy fish that way. Speaking of illicit fishing techniques, my brother discovered that if you get too frustrated with trying to catch the legendary fish the traditional way, you can just straight up shoot it with a rifle and it'll count as a catch - no honor lost either

It astounds me how fast you can go in this game from being all happy moseying around to almost dead horse. I mean watch this shit that just happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQULGAQ1toQ Slightly went the wrong way because of an npc and my horse is almost a goner. Thankfully she survived.

No seriously when end you catch a fish, you have the option to keep it or throw it back in the water. if you throw it back in the water, you gain Honour and Health experience

you could get your horse seriously hurt by doing something like that irl. Only difference is most horses wouldn’t even attempt going up a cliff.

That, and horses irl generally don't do frontflips at the speed of light.

I'm still in the tutorial and yet managed to spoil myself a very important detail about the post-story content, namely that [LAST MAJOR SPOILER WARNING] once Arthur is presumably killed you keep on playing the game as John Marshton, a la the great Jack switcheroo from the original game. This is somehow alleviated by the fact I kinda saw that coming a mile away even before getting my hands on the game proper

i found the legendary coyote and poor thing i couldnt bring myself to kill it. This game got me, i physically suffer when pixel animals experiment pain.

I'm extremely respectful of all animal life in RDR2 except for legendary animals which I just obliterate repeatedly with the strongest rifle I got I don't think this game can hit me any harder than (ending spoilers) killing off my only horse and Arthur gently appeasing him as he passes away while whispering "thank you" into his ear as far as animals go anyway.

I'm only up to chapter 6 and managed to avoid later game spoilers but I just fucking know Micah is gonna betray us and screw us over. Not only is he an asshole to the main character,. Fucking nuts and somehow managing and succeeding to bend the ear of Dutch and others, against people who have been with the gang much, much longer and done far more for them (like really he's been in the gang for six months,he's the fucking newbie), there's a couple of costume choices which make me suspicious, especially his normal white hat, which in western traditions nods to a "good guy" but also his choice of fully white suit, for a bank robbery,I'm like, he's totally wearing that on purpose so others know who he is, and on top of all that,shit suspiciously hits the fan a lot when he's around or involved. Though to be fair, he creeped me out on the very first mission where you first encounter Sadie, creepy scumfuck.

Why does a fucker like Micah get the sickest jacket in the game and we can't wear it? Still mad

I'm enjoying Chapter 6, but why is it that every mission finishes you off the other side of the map from the next ones? About 5 or so times now I've had to spend 5 or so minutes travelling all the back east to the camp after doing a mission. It's getting well annoying.

I imagine that if you're playing the game slow, it makes a good opportunity for hunting and side stuff, but to be honest by Chapter 6 I'm using the cinematic camera and just sitting back with a drink while Arthur rides across the map I've somehow been very lucky in that Arthur doesn't seem to bump into other people/carts when I do this, unless I'm mashing the gallop button. If I do literally nothing he navigates just fine. Chapter 6 story spoilers: I have to say, I got the vague spoiler that Arthur was going to be retired one way or another and John is the second POV, but the fact that Arthur is afflicted by a terminal disease really surprised and impressed me. I'd noticed his eyes were looking kind of bloodshot since Chapter 3, and when he was coughing a lot in Chapter 5 I was getting worried, but damn. I've never known another game or many stories even, books, TV, movies, or otherwise, where the main character is afflicted with an incurable terminal disease. Considering the mass amount of fantasy, westerns, and various other popular settings that don't have modern medicine, it's surprising how rare this is. I also appreciate that it takes a long time for the disease to actually kick in after he contracts it from Mr. Downes. I can't remember if that particular debt collection is optional. Would someone mind telling me? I'm afraid to google the answer for fear of learning spoilers for the end of Chapter 6 or after.

Worst thing about beating the game: Never being able to swim anywhere again Y/N?

Are there like, infinite ways of getting honor?

Say hello do Doughnut Arthur https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109843/7d013255-bddf-4892-b1d2-3ebda0632fda/fat2.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109843/e3699236-9c9c-42ef-88d2-0f2ed424ddea/donut.gif https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109843/a1eade40-1eb0-4868-aae2-9e8c4b06fabc/fat3.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109843/ee5ff79c-8d02-41a6-b395-da54a567735f/fat.png Yeah you got that right

Late Chapter 6 spoilers: "We tried but John didn't make it" (x) Doubt

How much did you have to eat to get to maximum weight?

Healthy diet of the maximum amount of crackers, biscuits, bread, chocolate and candy one can buy from the general store two or three times every day, followed by a visit to the saloon to eat all the almonds at the bar and a few orders of beef stew. Plus the occasional game meat I cooked in the wild. Done it for like 1-2 ingame weeks straight.

I can't say I like this decision, they did it in the first game and they're doing it again, just let me have Arthur run away with Mary, fuck sake. :(

Late Chapter 6 Spoilers: Just finished the last Arthur mission, and fuck me that got me feelin' sad. Funnily enough though I was way more sad about my horse dying than Arthur, although I suppose it was obvious that Arthur was going to die in the end. Rip Blanco, you were the best horsie. Before the game came out I was expecting the end to be your main guy dies and then you play as John, so I can't say I'm surprised with the swicharoo either. It's going to be interesting to see how close to the first game's story this game gets to though.

Fun little detail: Fat Arthur gets super sweaty when jogging or sprinting for a while, way more so than an average or underweight Arthur

I like how some NPCs think I'm following them when I just happen to be walking to the same place as they are Was just walking downstairs from the second floor of the St. Denis saloon and one of the guys in front of me yells at me to stop following him, and then suddenly he bolts back up the stairs screaming for help

I really love how Arthur is pretty much CJ 2.0 for Rockstar, we finally got full circle to implement all those small RPG elements and customization from GTA SA and have them be on par with the rest of the intricate details the game has.

How does this even happen? My Arthur ate like three whole buffalo steaks a day and hes as skinny as a Kenyan distance runner.

CHAPTER 3 ENDING SPOILERS Okay the Braithwaite manor mission is the most intense videogame experience I've ever had, the cinematography, music, dialogues, I really can't get myself to find any flaw. -"You killed one of my sons you bastard!" -"I'll gladly kill the rest of them too."

That was such a great mission. Only time I felt more badass was when I rolled up on some Confederate guys in a duster and an armful of shotgun slugs and absolutely blew threw them
